The Pokémon Company has announced the next expansion for Pokémon TCG Pocket, and it's set to launch next week in the app.
The new expansion is called Extradimensional Crisis, and it's a themed booster pack, meaning it's limited to a single booster pack – rather than two like full expansions – and is likely to add around 100-150 cards to the game. Extradimensional Crisis will add Ultra Beast Pokémon cards to Pokémon TCG Pocket, strange creatures from another dimension that have a special designation in the TCG.

A number of Ultra Beast cards were revealed in a press release accompanying the announcement, including some Pokémon ex cards, regular cards designated as an Ultra Beast card, and even full art variants of the Pokémon. Other related cards, like Type: Null and Pokémon ex versions of Guardian Pokémon like Tapu Koko, were also revealed to be coming to the game.
More Trainer cards are coming in the new set, too, with a Lusamine card revealed in the expansion's trailer. It's likely that these cards will interact and engage with Ultra Beast cards, allowing greater flexibility than Trainer cards that require specific types or even specific Pokémon to be effective. The Lusamine card, for example, allows you to take two random energy from your discard pile and add it to an Ultra Beast card on your field.
The expansion comes after the introduction of Alolan Pokémon in the last full TCG Pocket set, which was titled Celestial Guardians and focused on Pokémon and trainers introduced in Pokémon Sun and Moon. Ultra Beasts were also introduced in those games, so it seems as if Extradimensional Crisis acts as further expansion of the Celestial Guardians set.
The Extradimensional Crisis expansion will be released in Pokémon TCG Pocket on May 29, 2025. A number of events themed around the expansion will also be added to the game following its introduction, including solo battle events, Wonder Pick events, and Mass Outbreak events:

Owner Separates Dogs For a Break—Nanny Cam Captures One Not Having It
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. An owner who tried to separate her dogs to give them a break discovered through the nanny camera that they had other plans. Erika McGrattan went to her boyfriend's house for a quick visit, leaving her two boxer dogs at home for about an hour. Normally, she lets the dogs have free range of the house, but because her female, Bailey, was going through heat—a normal part of a female dog's fertility cycle when they are not spayed—and they have been actively trying to breed all day, McGratten wanted to give her a break. She put Rex in the doggy kennel. She latched the kennel, and for added security, McGratten placed a stool and chair in front to keep him from escaping, as Rex is usually the troublemaker of her two dogs, McGratten told Newsweek. But when she pulled out her phone to check in on her dogs, she found Bailey at Rex's kennel, helping him break free. And once he was out, the two went back to breeding. Her July 15 Instagram video, posted on her account @ showed what her nanny camera captured, but she cut it off right before the R-rated part began. The two dogs stayed perfectly in the camera's frame as Rex came to Bailey, who wore puppy panties, and began slowly moving it off with his paws. Screenshots from a July 15 Instagram video of a female boxer helping her doggy sibling escape from the kennel to go back to breeding.

"We just broke down laughing so hard," she said. "I didn't expect it to be that hilarious." She said these dogs are "obsessed" with each other, even when Bailey's not in heat. They sleep together, kiss each other and run over to comfort the other when one is crying. So she wasn't too surprised when Bailey broke Rex out. "She's quite silly and adamant when her mind is to something," McGratten said. "She rules the roost over here." McGratten assumes this recent incident caused Bailey to become pregnant, but she said it is too early to know for certain. Although Bailey has been showing signs, which McGratten picked up on as her two dogs have bred puppies before. She said about a year and a half ago, they had nine puppies. The pups were adopted to people who all previously owned boxers before. An accidental litter of two occurred in the middle of her moving, but the pups turned out all physically strong and McGratten was able to find them homes as well. Viewer Reactions The Instagram video quickly became a viral hit, reaching over 16.7 million views and 484,000 likes, shocking viewers about how the great escape turned into something more. "This should be on ONLYPAWS can't be sharing free content like that," joked a viewer. Another added: "I seen enough they need to pay some bills." A third person commented: "My jaw dropped when the panty went to sliding." Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?
